Well you can install a custom kernel to also get recovery if somehow your method doesn't work. Try perseus.

That should automatically install CWM and all should be well.
Good Luck and report back.:good:

Well for custom CWM recovery try flashing a custom kernel via ODIN,
Download Perseus.
Link:-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927852
Download the .tar file and not the .zip
Put on PC > Connect phone via USB> flash via ODIN

Did the PASS message appear on ODIN?
Do you have CWM recovery now?
What ROM are you on now currently?
Were you stuck in bootloop?

If not then try with Mobile ODIN. I doubt whether it would work as they are basically the same.
Worth a try.
If that doesn't work, flash this via PC ODIN through download mode and tell me.

Remeber to browse via PDA option to this file from ODIN,

Install mobile odin.
Play store version is paid but there is a thread on xda which provides a lite free version.
Download the recpvert you want. Make sure its in img format.
Then rename it to recovery.img
Then open mobile odin.
Select recovery and tell it the file's location.
Then don't touch anything just scroll down and select flash.
Then just restart.

everything working fine now

Samsung Note II N7100 International will not boot up

Hi All,
For the past few weeks (6 weeks) I had performed 3 phone factory resets. It was my first time having had to perform a factory reset due to the malfunctions in key applications such as Play Store, Clock, etc, which began to stop working. My initial reset was due to "Unforuntately Clock has stopped.", where my second was due to Play Store, and my third being process.system. This sudden requirement to perform this many resets, in order for my phone to operate normally for a week or two, before I had to reset it again had me believe something was wrong with my phone.
It was until last Saturday my phone was working. My phone had froze, causing me to force shut down and reboot. However, unfortunately, it didn't reboot back up -ever. The phone hung on the first Samsung splash screen "Samsung Galaxy Note II - N7100". It stayed like this for well over half a hour, where I tried again, and still, the splash screen stayed.
After doing some research on the web, forums and articles advised for a wipe / factory reset through Recovery mode by holding VolUp+Home+Power, which I tried. But unfortunately errors messages appeared.
E:failed to mount /efs (No such file or directory)
E:failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_recovery
E:failed to mount /data (No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /data/log/recovery_log.txt.
... (etc) - refer to photos
When I tried to wipe data/factory reset, the following appeared:
Wiping data...
Format /data...
E:Format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on dev/block/mmcblk0p12
Format /cache
E:Format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on dev/block/mmcblk0p12

}
Additional info:
I tried plugging my phone into my computer and run Kies, but my phone couldn't be picked up.
This phone is a Samsung Note II International phone which I had grey-imported, where unfortunately it will be difficult for me to get it locally serviced without paying.
This phone is not rooted.
I am able to go into both recovery and download mode on the phone.
I hope that you guys can help me get this phone up and running again.
Many thanks!

Sorry, i'm confused to which ROM i should be flashing. I tried the ROM which mezo91 provided, and other ROMs (from China, and Hong Kong; because I believe the phone was from there), and it still didn't work.
Is there a specific stock ROM you could recommend me? Perhaps a link to it?
Thanks!

Is your device still under warranty?
Do you use knox container or will use it?
If no, then I recommend you flash a custom recovery as stated, download a custom rom, choose one which is as close to stock as possible, I recommend omega rom it is closest to stock. And try to see if it boots.
Can you do that by yourself?
If not, send me a private message and I can help you from there and send you links in order your devoce to boot and be working again.
Or I can say here anyway. But I will tell you to choose the same recovery I use and send you links for it.

If you plan to get a new phone and throw this one bcuz dead then follow this I will give all links at bottom. Lets try boot this note 2 up^^
1. Download twrp recovery, download the tar.md5 file. In their download links there is no tar.md5. So we will flash a cwm recovery bcuz it is .tar.md5. Then through cwm we will flash twrp.zip recovery.
Why I need .tar.md5.? Bcuz we need first to flash through odin.
2. After custom recovery is setup and I will assume it worked. We will need to put the custom rom on the external sd card. We make a full wipe. Then we will flash it.
3. Assuming everything went ok it should boot.

http://omegadroid.co/samsung-galaxy-note-2-n7100/
These are the links.
What you will do as follows. Do every step to ensure it flashed.
1. Flash the cwm.tar.md5 ( first link) in the AP in odin, make sure auto reboot UNCHECKED.
2. After it finish you yourself will disconnect note 2 from pc and force it into recovery mode by pressing vol up+ home+ power button.
2. If it booted into recovery fine. You will then get a microsd card put on it the second file from second link. Twrp.zip.
3. Choose install zip in recovery and flash the twrp.zip. when done. Choose to reboot to recovery from advanced I guess.
4. The twrp is easier thats y I recommend it. Firsly download the 4.3 omega rom to microsd card then put it in note 2.
5. Choose wipe. Advanced wipe. Then select all exept the microsd card and otg.
6. Press home.
7. Choose install then browse the custom rom.
8. You have aroma. Just read and choose what u want.
9. Finish and then check if boots.
I hope ive helped.

Hi mezo91
I really appreciate you taking the time and helping me out.
I can't seem to get past the first step as when I try to flash, it always 'fails'.
Any advice?
I hope this isn't the end of my Note II

Try to boot to recovery after it fails. When flash bar reaches end and says fail. Disconnect device and turn it off. Then boot to recovery.

Did you force boot into recovery? Bcuz sometimes the stock recovery reflashes itself when booted normally.
What I do is when recovery flash complete is remove battery then vol up home and power button.
Try it.

Nice. Thanks for your work man! I'll try this out and report back if I notice any issues. If you don't hear from me then it's all good!
Is f2fs only for cache, data, and internal storage? Or can it be used on system as well?
[update] I used the flash method and it's running good. Switched cache, data, and internal storage to f2fs and all is running well.

Good I set it up for system to do it as well, even though technically it would be pointless since system doesn't write files(unless you manually add to it or flash something to it) . I haven't tested it though

Updated Recovery To The Latest 3.0.2-1!

I guess the restore bug may not be present in this watch's system due to no efs partition. I'm wondering if it does affect it at all since it does affect quite a few devices.

After you flash the recovery, boot to the normal watch running before you boot back to recovery, i *think* that is how I solved it, but it has been some time ago.

Try flashing recovery then back to bootloader with

Then manually reboot from the bootloader to recovery.

Fastboot boot temporarily loads the recovery.img. Try doing that then flashing the recovery zip within recovery. Quick workaround for you

Now go in the directory where your adb/fastboot binaries exists.Connect the device to your PC.Enable USB debugging in developer options & then open a command window and run the following command from the proper location:
adb reboot bootloader
Your device should now be in the bootloader.
Then again from command window run the following command from the proper location:
fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img
This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device. Use adb to push the zip onto your device:
adb push path/to/twrp.zip /
Even MTP is working you can also directly copy zip from your pc and paste to your device.
Go to install and browse to the zip and install the zip. The zip will install TWRP to both boot slots. Installing TWRP at this time will remove root if you are currently rooted.
If you accidently flash TWRP to your device using fastboot instead of temporarily booting the image, you will need to download the latest factory image for your device and reflash the boot image.

Great news.... Thanks for sharing!!!
---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------
But to my understanding, i learnt twrp is embedded into tha boot.img (kernel)..... Is it same with tha official twrp or differs?
Thanks.

Yes thats right.
Atm seems workig fine i make nandroid backup
Well will see what i can do with th System.img

Gonna make a proper thread Have fun ! BTW don't flash it to boot partitions instead use ramdisk injector zip provided by me or TWRP team site!
For Now wait! ( Am not able to send Link in message as I freshly rejoined )
Quick steps :
1) adb reboot bootloader
2) fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-NB1.img
3 ) Flash permanent making zip once booted in twrp
4) Go in reboot menu of twrp and reboot to recovery once permanent making zip is flashed
5 ) Now flash Magisk zip. ( Latest beta 16.7 not stable 16.0 )

1. It will work on yur model version... Just fastboot to boot_a and boot_b.
2. Better to turn off official updates cos heard from August patch, bootloader wont be able to be unlocked n unlocked ones will be locked through tha updates.
3. Slot A/B re tha partitions for storage....

Wait so I have to flash it on both slots?
And umm my phone is already unlocked and I have installed August security patch
And I'm guessing Slot A is for internal storage and slot B is for external storage? I'm not sure

Nope. Slot A n B are for system. Its just tha new way partitions are set so incase when yhu have issues with a slot den yhu can switch to tha other slot to boot up tha phone... But tha news o read was dat after updating to August patch, it ll block bootloader n wont be able to unlocked. Im still on May patch 488B!
I flashed on both slots and working fine!!!!

The Updater itself wont let you update because it'll detect that you're having a different boot image and will say "Installation Problem". I suggest you somehow backup the boot image and then install TWRP so that if you wanna install patches you could just revert it.
Edit: Noticed I didnt link the article properly

That's interesting. Hmm... Can I install stock rom using twrp? (This one https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/development/nokia-8-nb1-june-firmware-via-ota-t3798056 ) or do I have to use the OST LA thingy?

Be careful as Always, only use this img for booting so you can install magisk direct.
To restore your boot image with trwp:
Unzip twrp and add to root of the sdcard,
fastboot boot twrp daisy zero(sdcard fixed version) and restore trwp backup, don't touch anything else, and reboot by holding power button.
Fastboot boot patched_boot.img to boot phone for direct install of magisk. ALWAYS RECOMENDED.

thanks a lot, can you provide also an unmodified 10.30.0 boot image?

Yep, a non patched would be also useful. Which Magisk version did you use to patch the image?
Still bootlooping after flashing it.

I can provide an unmodified trwp made boot.img from my phone, thats why i said not to flash the patched boot image, and to only boot from it, twrp backups are .wim, i just changed the .wim extension to .img and patched it. As far as im aware its a normal packed boot.img but renamed .wim for trwp to flash it, ill provide it but use at own risk. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqlJY73bUA7rholIeKoHAB8o6s94gA .Rename boot.img if your going to flash it.

I used magisk v18 latest. Unmodified boot.img is in one of the posts. Ive used it so it should be fine, but still its done at your own risk. Im not sure how you will stop it bootlooping, sounds like magisk messed up the install when re applying after OTA.

Dont fastboot reboot, just boot from it, if your rebooting then your wiping the temp boot.

The same thing happened when I updated from oreo to pie using the method to maintain root. If I remember well I solved the problem by flashing stock boot.img with
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
then it should normally boot and after that it should be ok to manually patch the boot image.
Maybe it's better to wait an image extracted from OTA
Thanks anyway

Try anzhaki's method, he said it works but i cant confirm it as ive never run into problems (touch wood). Dont go making things worse by flashing custom stuff, try using his method and factory reset.

I wouldnt try magisk ota method, theres reports of bootloops after OTA, best is to return everything to stock, disabale modules and reboot, uninstall modules and reboot, then uninstall magisk and reboot, any modded hosts need to be stock, audio/soundfx need to be stock, basically anything to do with system should be stock. If you get into any install issues with ota, then download the 10.0.20.0 rom from Mi's website and use flash all except storage, this will keep data and give you a fresh system image.
